How do I get the current cursor position for a textfield?

I want get the current text value to the left of the cursor so that when

entering a numeric when the user presses the decimal key that is auto

adjusts the value "around" the decimal point.

For example, if the value is 1234.56 and the cursor is between the 2 and 3

and the user hits the decimal, it would auto change the value to 12. vs

12.34.56

I've already go the hooks to capture the decimal key, now I just need to

reformat the value.

Thanks,

Larry Long

Hello,

This is probably an easy one, but I can't find the answer.

MROW() and MCOL() return the position of the mouse pointer.

I need to know the position of the blinking cursor in a text box ?

Thanks,

Kent

Kent,

You mean where in the text it is? Textbox.selStart ?

I'm not sure you can get a screen position reference of the blinking cursor.
